Osimertinib is an irreversible third representative epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with T790M resistance and classical EGFR mutations. However, the therapeutic effectiveness of osimertinib is limited by acquired drug-resistance, poor water solubility and low tumor accumulation rates. Nanodrug delivery systems can increase the solubility and stability of drugs, prolong the blood circulation time of drugs, improve the uptake rate of cells, promote drug accumulation in tumor tissues, and improve drug resistance. Thus, they are effective in overcoming the limitations of traditional targeted drugs. In this study, we reviewed the mechanism of action of the third-generation EGFR-TKI osimertinib, focused on research advances in osimertinib nanodrug delivery systems against NSCLC, and explored the challenges and future development direction in this field.

Objective:To investigate the diet, dietary structure and physical activity of 408 early pregnant women in Beijing.Methods:From November 2018 to January 2019, this study selected 408 early pregnant women at the women and children hospital in Beijing by convenience sampling. The diet and physical activity were investigated with the Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) and Denmark Physical Activity Questionnaire. SPSS 22.0 was used to build the database and principal component analysis was used to statistical analysis.Results:Among 408 early pregnant women, the gestational week and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) was (9.77±1.95) weeks and (22.80±3.91) kg/m 2. There were 120 (30.9%) of pregnant women with pre-pregnancy overweight/fat, 136 (33.3%) of them with fasting blood glucose>4.6 mmol/L. Food consumption (cereals and tubers, livestock and poultry meat) all day was lower than recommended nutrient intake of the Chinese Balanced Diet Pagoda. Diet structure of pregnant women mainly included 5 kinds which explained 50.889% of the total cumulative variance; the first diet structures were the livestock and poultry meat, cereals, milk and milk products, tubers; and the vegetables, fried, barbecued, cookies and aquatic product were the second which explained 20.121% of the cumulative variance. Among those pregnant women, the time and energy consumption of resting or mild level of physical activity occupied 87.50% (21/24) and 81.50% (27.00/33.13) of time and energy consumption in 24 hours respectively; the time and energy consumption of medium level of physical activity occupied 7.29% (1.75/24) and 18.50% (16.13/33.13) of time and energy consumption in 24 hours respectively; level E (daily cleaning) accounted for 57.14% (1.00/1.75) and 48.93% (3.00/6.13) of the time and energy consumption of medium level of physical activity; there was no one with level H (aerobics) . Conclusions:Among 408 early pregnant women in Beijing, many pregnant women are with pre-pregnancy overweight/fat; a part of them are with a high level of fasting blood glucose; a part of them select diet outside. In the situation of low level of overall food consumption among early pregnant women, the diet structure mainly includes the livestock and poultry meat, grease, sweetmeats and tubers which leads to much sugar and fat intake. At the same time, early pregnant women have the low level of physical activity. Diet and exercise guide should be carried out to control the weight gain.

Ubiquitin specific protease 33 (USP33) is a multifunctional protein regulating diverse cellular processes. The expression and role of USP33 in lung cancer remain unexplored. In this study, we show that USP33 is down-regulated in multiple cohorts of lung cancer patients and that low expression of USP33 is associated with poor prognosis. USP33 mediates Slit-Robo signaling in lung cancer cell migration. Downregulation of USP33 reduces the protein stability of Robo1 in lung cancer cells, providing a previously unknown mechanism for USP33 function in mediating Slit activity in lung cancer cells. Taken together, USP33 is a new player in lung cancer that regulates Slit-Robo signaling. Our data suggest that USP33 may be a candidate tumor suppressor for lung cancer with potential as a prognostic marker.
